Andy Murray is officially a tennis bae — and for a super-important reason. After losing the quarterfinal match at Wimbledon, Murray had no patience for a reporter's casually sexist questions. Like a good ally, Murray put aside his own pain (both emotional and physical — he may have to get hip surgery following the tournament) to quickly rectify an incorrect statement and the video is Oscar-worthy. The exchange follows below:

Reporter: "Sam [Querrey] is the first U.S. player to reach a major semifinal since 2009..."

Murray: "Male player."

Reporter: "First male player, that's for sure. (laughing)"

What might be even better than his annoyance is the fact that Andy Murray did not laugh, not even to ease the tension. Being precise matters, especially when you're a journalist, and Murray consistently makes a point to correct those that fail to specify their comments. Several American women have had Grand Slam success in the past eight years. Has this reporter never heard of two sisters with the last name Williams? Not to mention younger players Coco Vandeweghe​ and Madison Keys who, as Sports Illustrated notes, have both reached semis in the last three years. Murray definitely made his mom proud, who tweeted out the exchange with a simple, "That's my boy ❤️."

This is not the first time that Andy Murray has stepped in to correct a sexist question or comment. Last August, after Murray won in the Olympics in Brazil, a BBC reporter falsely stated that he was the first player to win two gold medals in tennis, to which Murray quickly responded that both Venus and Serena Williams has four gold medals in tennis. If only these journalists would learn. In the mean time, Andy, keep fighting the good equality fight. And to John McEnroe? Take notes.
